This is a GREAT, GREAT, GREAT edition of Works for Me Wednesday over at Shannon’s blog. It’s a “Mom, I’m bored!” Edition ~ which means, there’s going to be HUNDREDS of great ideas of things to do with your kids this summer. I highly suggest checking this one out!!
I have a really strange kid, because I’ve NEVER heard the words “I am bored” come out of my kids mouth. In fact, as I’m sitting here I’m a little in shock with you all. HOWEVER! If he does come up with these words I have just this trick up my sleeve 😉
I actually am going to do this with him and his cousin (she’s coming to visit for a week) and it’s going to be SO MUCH FUN for them!!! We’re going to have a picture scavenger hunt. I’m going to make a list of things that they will have to take a picture of. Jayden has a cool Vitek camera and I believe Irie has one too (if not she can use my digital camera). The plan is to go up to my Grandparent’s property ~ they have many acres with lots of things I can throw into the list. They’ll have to go and find the things on their lists. They’ll have their own lists too!! I think they’ll love it ~ Jayden especially, because he LOVES to take pictures.
It’s gonna be *so* much fun seeing their pictures! We did something similar with the kids at school only not *quite* as creative … it was part of an English lesson (ok, the kids were tiny, calling it English is sorta pushin’ it!) … we put words on a page … gave them pictures to paste next to the appropriate word… then took them outside to find the things they had identified on the page.
That ‘s a really fun Idea. they’ll love it! I wonder if I could split my four into teams or something, we don’t have four camera’s.
